Error when booting into windows

I have a pc that started getting  Diskett drive 0 seek failure errors, I called dell and they had me replace the harddrive. It loaded windows then on the reboot it came back to the same error. I have tried to boot into BIO's but it will not, says booting to setup but then comes back to the same error. Any suggestions? PC is a Dell Precision Workstation 530.
